Quote by: Sonart Don't get me wrong, ibm. I agree with you 100% and have been a critic of this war since rumors of it were first breathed in the summer of 2002. It was a bad idea, no matter how it was rationalized, and the error was compounded by the fact that the initial rationalization was simply wrong.
But the fact is, we're there, whether it was worth it or not, and while pulling out now would save American lives, it'll make the overall geo-political situation vastly worse.

i think i had understood your position on this war and that's why i said "respectfully disagree".
yes, if we pull out now, like you said, the overall geo-political situation there is likely to get worse. but to me that is the cost, a terrible one if i may add, of our mistake (be it intentional or not) that we have to bear. on the other hand, by pulling out now, we sure can save lives, save money (and hopefully save it for better use), and stop creating hatred each and everyday.
compare the two, which one is a better action to go with? i think the answer is clear.
